Abstract Measured viscosity and density data for ternary aqueous solutions of CaCl2 and KCl are presented at temperatures between 293 and 323 K with 5 K increment. A modified Jones–Dole was introduced by adding extra terms and proved to be suitable for modelling of the viscosity data. Goldsack and Franchetto, Hu and Exponential models are used to correlate the viscosity data, too. Al models are correlated as a function of temperature and concentration. All models had successfully predicted the viscosity with high precision reaching a maximum average absolute deviation (AAD) of less than 2.3%. The modified Jones–Dole showed the best results among other models. Viscosity of the ternary solution is higher than the viscosity of water by about 15% at low concentrations and reaches about 270% at the highest concentrations. The amount of CaCl2 has more significant effect on the ternary mixture viscosity compared to KCl. This has created difficulty in measuring the viscosity and consequently the challenge in finding the different models parameters. Ternary solution densities were successfully correlate with Kumar’s model with AAD of less than 0.4%. Comparison of the ternary solution density and viscosity with the few available data literature showed a good agreement.

Aqueous alkanolamines solutions are widely used in petroleum refineries to remove acid gases from hydrotreated streams. The knowledge of physical properties in this kind of solutions is useful for the correct design, operation, and control of sweetening processes. Due to the above, we carried out a study on the density of the ternary mixture: 2-Amino-2-Methyl-1-Propanol (AMP) + Diethanolamine (DEA) + Water (H2O). Density was measured by means of the vibrating tube method with an uncertainty of 2×10-4 g·cm-3.  The experimental data was obtained in the entire concentration range, temperatures from 303.15 to 333.15 K, and pressure of 101.3 kPa. In addition, the following three prediction methods were tested to estimate the density of the blend: mixing rule, polynomial correlation, and excess molar volume. The best prediction was obtained by means of the excess molar volume through the Redlich-Kister and Cibulka equations, where an average absolute deviation (AAD) of 0.02%, correlation coefficient (R) of 0.9999, and standard deviation (<s>) of 3×10-4 g·cm-3 were obtained.

It is known that many conventional methods are not suitable for calculating the refractive index of a medium composed of more than two ingredients. In this paper, refractive indices of H 2 O – NaCl – KBr ternary solutions have been calculated by using the equation n = 1 + ρΣ(cjDMj). The calculated results were in good agreement with the experimental results. Theoretically, the equation n = 1 + ρΣ(cjDMj) can be applied to calculate refractive index of a medium composed of any number of ingredients. This work supports this point.

Aim: Quinoa is a popular source of protein, minerals and alternative to traditional grains. The objective of this study is to introduce the Quinoa in the semi-arid zone of Sindh province of Pakistan. Method: A variety of NARC-9 from the agricultural Punjab province was cultivated and subjected to analyze the growth, morphological characters of the varieties obtained, saponin, protein and the elemental composition viz. Cd, Cu, Fe, K, Na, Pb, and Zn. Result: The result demonstrated the optimum growth and no disease were found in the experimental area. At least three major varieties of quinoa were obtained. Seed morphological data of these three quinoa cultivars were collected. The average saponin levels were quite reasonable. Overall proteins band pattern revealed very high polymorphism in quinoa cultivars and the results were also in good agreement with earlier studies. Conclusion: All quinoa cultivars of Madinat al-Hikmah showed high concentrations of albumin than globulin concentrations (i.e. 48-52% and 24-27%, respectively) as compared to control seeds from market that had similar concentrations of the two fractions i.e. 35.58% and 37.68%, respectively. Likewise, low concentrations of prolamin 14-16% and glutelin 11-12% compared to control seeds 13% rank our crop much better quality than the imported one in the market. The trend of elemental accumulation was followed as K >Na >Fe >Zn >Cu >Pb >Cd, while for comparison it was Na >K >Zn >Fe >Cu >Pb >Cd >Pb for wheat grown under similar conditions. Traditional grains together make a major contribution to the total nutritional element intake of the average Pakistani citizen through diet, not only because of large amounts consumed, but also in part by suitable levels of their proteins and elemental up take for good health. Thus the successful cultivation of quinoa in the semi-arid zone of Sindh will certainly prove beneficial.

The applicability of the equation derived for calculating the dynamic viscosity of ternary non-electrolyte mixtures, to the correlation of viscosity data of the H2O- K2CO3/KHCO3 system is verified in this work. It was found out that the values of dynamic viscosity obtained experimentally are in good agreement with the viscosity values calculated from this equation. The equation constants - interaction coefficients - were determined from the measurements of dynamic viscosity on mixing the basic solutions of K2CO3 and KHCO3 of known concentration. The correlation equation makes it possible to calculate viscosity of the K2CO3/KHCO3 solutions in the K2CO3 and KHCO3 concentration range from 0 to about 2.0 kmol m-3.

Experimental solubilities are reported at 25.0°C for diuron (also called 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethyl urea) dissolved in 49 different organic nonelectrolyte solvents containing ether-, chloro-, hydroxy-, ester-, methyl-, and tert-butyl-functional groups. Results of these measurements are used to test the applications and limitations of expressions derived from Mobile Order theory. For the 28 nonalcoholic solvents for which predictions could be made computations show that Mobile Order theory does provide fairly reasonable estimates of the saturation mole fraction solubilities. Average absolute deviation between predicted and observed values is 60.1%. Diuron solubilities in the alcohol solvents are used to calculate stability constants for presumed solute-solvent hydrogen bonds that are believed to occur in solution.Key words: pesticide, diuron solubilities, organic nonelectrolyte solvents, solubility predictions.

Abstract. Low concentrations of ice-nucleating particles (INPs) are thought to be important for the properties of mixed-phase clouds, but their detection is challenging. Hence, there is a need for instruments where INP concentrations of less than 0.01 L−1 can be routinely and efficiently determined. The use of larger volumes of suspension in drop assays increases the sensitivity of an experiment to rarer INPs or rarer active sites due to the increase in aerosol or surface area of particulates per droplet. Here we describe and characterise the InfraRed-Nucleation by Immersed Particles Instrument (IR-NIPI), a new immersion freezing assay that makes use of IR emissions to determine the freezing temperature of individual 50 µL droplets each contained in a well of a 96-well plate. Using an IR camera allows the temperature of individual aliquots to be monitored. Freezing temperatures are determined by detecting the sharp rise in well temperature associated with the release of heat caused by freezing. In this paper we first present the calibration of the IR temperature measurement, which makes use of the fact that following ice nucleation aliquots of water warm to the ice–liquid equilibrium temperature (i.e. 0 ∘C when water activity is ∼1), which provides a point of calibration for each individual well in each experiment. We then tested the temperature calibration using ∼100 µm chips of K-feldspar, by immersing these chips in 1 µL droplets on an established cold stage (µL-NIPI) as well as in 50 µL droplets on IR-NIPI; the results were consistent with one another, indicating no bias in the reported freezing temperature. In addition we present measurements of the efficiency of the mineral dust NX-illite and a sample of atmospheric aerosol collected on a filter in the city of Leeds. NX-illite results are consistent with literature data, and the atmospheric INP concentrations were in good agreement with the results from the µL-NIPI instrument. This demonstrates the utility of this approach, which offers a relatively high throughput of sample analysis and access to low INP concentrations.

A new empirical correlation for upward flowing supercritical aviation kerosene RP-3 in the vertical tubes is proposed. In order to obtain the database, numerical simulation with a four-component surrogate model on RP-3 and LS low Reynolds turbulence model in vertical circular tube has been performed. Tubes of diameter 2mm to 10mm are studied and operating conditions cover pressure from 3MPa to 6MPa. Heat flux is 500KW/m2, mass flow rate is 700kg/(m2·s). The numerical results on wall temperature distribution under various conditions are compared with experimental data and a good agreement is achieved. The existing correlations are summarized and classified into three categories. Three representative correlations of each category are selected out to evaluate the applicability in heat transfer of supercritical RP-3. The result shows that correlations concluded from water and carbon-dioxide do not perform well in predicting heat transfer of hydrocarbon fuel. The mean absolute deviation of them is up to 20% and predict about 80% of the entire database within 30% error bands. So a new correlation which is applicable to different working conditions for supercritical RP-3 is put forward. Gnielinski type has been adapted as the basis of the new correlation for its higher accuracy. In consideration of major influence factors of supercritical heat transfer, correction terms of density and buoyancy effect are added in. The new correlation has a MAD of 9.26%, predicting 90.6% of the entire database within ±15% error bands. The comparisons validate the applicability of the new correlation.

Aims: The present analyses aimed at evaluating the performance of two models for estimating the overall effect of combining two or more measures (leaf removal, cluster division, late shoot topping, botryticide application, bioregulator application) for controlling grape bunch rot based on the efficacy of the individual measures.Methods and results: Field trials with the white Vitis vinifera cultivars Pinot gris and Riesling on the efficacy of three bunch rot control measures applied either alone or in combination were analyzed. Bunch rot disease severities prior to harvest were assessed and efficacies were calculated for each treatment. Observed efficacies of single measures were used to estimate the overall efficacies of all possible measure combinations. Calculated efficacies matched observed efficacies more accurately when assuming multiplicative interaction among the individual measures (R2 = 0.8574, p < 0.0001; average absolute deviation: 7.9%) than in case of assuming additive effects (R2 = 0.8280; average absolute deviation: 14.7%).Conclusions: The multiplicative approach assumes that each additional measure is affecting (in case of efficient measures: reducing) the disease severity level as the result of the additional treatments rather than compared to the disease severity level in the untreated control.Significance and impact of the study: The high goodness of fit as well as the observed low deviations between the estimated and the observed efficacies suggest that the multiplicative approach is appropriate for estimating the efficacy of combined viticultural measures in a complex practical bunch rot control strategy assembled of different modules.

Anthracene acts as a radical scavenger when present at low concentrations in irradiated hydrocarbons. A study has been made of the effect of radiation intensity and anthracene concentration on G( — A) , the number of anthracene molecules lost per 100 eV of energy absorbed. A theoretical calculation is made of the dependence of G( — A) on radiation intensity 1 and anthracene concentration ( A ), assuming that radiation-induced radicals (R.) are formed at random, and can either disappear by direct combination with one another, or with the anthracene to give RAR or RAAR bridges, or possibly some form of stabilized RA molecules. This theory is in good agreement with the experimental values of G( — A) measured at various low radiation intensities and anthracene concentrations. From the comparison estimates of the reactivity constants are derived. With very high intensity radiation quantitative agreement is less satisfactory, due to the non-steady conditions prevailing in a pulsed beam. The results obtained are compared with previous work on anthracene + hexane and iodine + cyclo hexane mixtures, in which the effect of radiation intensity was not investigated. The results reported here are of interest to the study of reaction kinetics in irradiated organic systems.

The accurate predicted viscosities near the melting point [Formula: see text] have been searched. In order to find the temperature ranges, where the measured viscosity data applied to obtain the accurate fitting viscosity data and the accurate fitting expressions near [Formula: see text] lie, the measured data in 15 different temperature ranges (a)–(o) are applied to obtain the fitting viscosity data and the fitting expressions by the Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann (VFT) relation. The accuracy of the fitting viscosity near [Formula: see text] will varies when the measured data in different temperature ranges are applied to obtain the fitting viscosity data by VFT relation. It is found that the accurate fitting viscosity data with the coefficients of determination [Formula: see text] in temperature range 397.3–583.6 K (0.84–1.24[Formula: see text]) near [Formula: see text] can be acquired using the measured data in temperature ranges (g)–(h) and (k) by the VFT relation. In other words, we found the temperature ranges (namely, temperature ranges (g)–(h) and (k)), in which the measured viscosity data applied to obtain the accurate fitting viscosity data and the accurate fitting expressions near [Formula: see text] exist.
